I can't remember why I finally decided on the project idea, but once I did, the first thing I made was a shader that could emulate the style and feel of a Game Boy game. I then used Pyxel Edit to create the pixel art tilesets used for the character, terrain, and mining minigame.

I especially enjoyed creating the procedural generation systems to firstly create the maps and then scatter minable resources underneath the rock. I created the entire game using a single entrypoint, as opposed to the Unity component based IoC (inversion of control).

Upon hearing the theme 'Keep it alive' I immediately recalled my days playing the "Healer" in MMORPG raids and wanted to create a UI-only version of my experiences.

I also explored new scripting methods to create abilities in RPG games, as I wanted to be able to create a system that would allow me to add multiple unique ways of healing your allies.

I'm very proud of the overall experience, primarily because of it’s difficulty. It may take several playthroughs to complete, but it is doable once you know what you are down.

For this Asteroids clone, the first thing I implemented was procedurally generated asteroid meshes. I then utilised Unity’s 2D physics engine to fling those asteroids into the centre of the arena.

After the code test concluded, I added Discord integration via the Discord SDK.
